I always love seeing the names they attribute to these Pantone shades. African Violet? Tender Shoots? They're spot-on, if you ask me. My favorites are Poppy Red and Linen--with Emerald and Lemon Zest coming in close behind.

I sort of love Emerald... I've been having a thing for greens lately. It's a little tough to swallow the fact that spring is already on the drawing boards. I do love these colors though... I'm sure they'll have me wanting spring fashions sometime soon. It's an unavoidable fact. (:

LOVE this post - we just shared the Pantone Color Report for Spring, 2013 on The Perfect Palette! Isn't it amazing? Loving their choices, for sure! Wanted to see if you would mind us sharing these two visuals on our site maybe next week? We'd of course link to your blog for credit. Please swing by and leave us a comment letting us know :) I think my readers would love to see these!
